Why not a black bear or a sloth bear.First and foremost a Hyena or a Hyena family would be welcome.My wish would be to see happen a family of dogs with several species of antelope (hartebeest, Topi, Oryx, Waterbuck, Impala, Antelope sand, Springbok, Bushbuck, Eland of derby... and many others.

Yes, more antelopes! I would also like more cattle, wild, and domesticated.New Holstien, Hereford, *water buffalo* , new yak, English longhorn, and Santa Gertrudis.

I'm pretty sure Schleich will never produce a Musk ox or any species of Antelope or other"unknown"animals again-these times are in the apsta nd defenitely over.Nobody of their main customers-children-will buy a Duiker, a Mountain nyala, a Bongo, a gaur etc., only collectors like us, so no Chance for sloth bear, clouded Leopard, shoebill, cassowary or other of animals we would like to see-I gurantee it.But we have Collecta and Mojö-so i don't care if Schleich will do them or not.

Schleich is the most comercial brand of them all,they don't care about what collectors want-so I think, they will procuce in the future only spcies which are known to the main customers-lions and tiges, brwon and polar bears, apes, more penguins, sealions, giraffes and Zebras, and of course horses and cute kittens and cats, rabbits and ugly cute-like horses....This is Schleichs Reality now...

Sorry if if I have to destroy all your Hopes. I have them burried them since last year...

Schleich has produced a great Musk Ox in the past-it is the best animal figure they ever have produced, but of Course it wasn't a big seller, so it dissappeared quickly and I sure you, they won't do another Musk Ox again in the future.

Wonders CAN happen-but not with Schleich.

I don't like it, but by the looks of the past few years, it looks like what you say is going to be true. I fear that we are going to see more common animals like elephants, giraffes, and as you already mentioned, horses and cats going more from realistic to cartoonish and like barbies. But we still have all of these other brands providing us with amazing models, so I guess we should stay positive and not complain. :)

All hopes are allowed because they were the first to come out of baboons, a giant anteater, an Armadillo, a Jackal, a bearded Agama, a Yak, a Komodo dragon, beef-musky and many others as polar foxes not necessarily known by children.All species cited above it are not very well known or very attractive models for children and they were still produced by Schleich.Certainly they did not stay very long in the catalog but they have the merit to be included in the ci for 1 or 2 years.Since some time Schleich renew models such as elephants, chimpanzees, Tigers, bears, panda, lions, kangaroos and zebras which remain permanently in the catalogue then they do reappear models that they had released their catalog several years such as Warthogs, the Black Panther, the vulture, the Pelican, the Beaver, the kudu, African Buffalo, the Stork, the Koala...I think that they will continue in this direction again some time, and then once they have exhausted this resource they should start to produce new lesser-known models of children as currently do Mojo Fun and collected.

For the next years in supplement of the classic models which will be redone as Tigers, lions, camels, bison, wolves, cheetahs or giraffes we can believe that the following models will emerge:PUMAAlligatorHyenaJackalOrangutanOkapiBaboonsReindeerLamaIndian RhinocerosDromedaryGiant anteaterArmadilloMountain goatChamois

Looks nice-but my bet is, not only one of these species, with the exception of the White stork and teh Peacock, Schleich has them arleady,, will produced by Schleich within the next ten years...So don't Count on them...

So from my Point of view,when it Comes to Schleich, Wishing lists are a senselese and a waste of time.

I think Schleich MUST make other animals, because the children must know also other animals, not a girffe an elephant and an hippo, on the earth are many others interesting animals.

Let me only tell you that there is a long history of toy animal replicas before Schleich and all of these species were released much before Schleich starting their animal range. You can find much more diversity in an old French brand like Starlux, just an example. Even Arctic foxes, were not an original idea from Schleich, you can find them among modern brands like Safari or AAA that released them before. But, The Schleich of 10 years ago was really a much more interesting brand that it is now. It explains why the brand has a lot of collectors. I hope the brand can be back to these golden days and can show us some interesting animals. I also want that this fantasied and childish taste that the brand is showing now could be changed to a more realistic and scientifically accurate style.

I think Schleich MUST make other animals, because the children must know also other animals, not a girffe an elephant and an hippo, on the earth are many others interesting animals.

They must not-Schleich isn't doing Toy Animals for the Education of children-they do it to make Money.

Unfortunately, all kinds of"special" species like Antelopes,Musk Ox,tapir etc.were not good sellers-it costs the Company a lot of Money to produce them, an then, nobody only a few people and collectors are buy them...That's not the way how to get in a lot of Money...So this the reason, why all theses unknown species were retired just a couple of years, see the new Kudu,the Gazelles or the Gnus and the yak-gone after two or three years...And what was coming for them ?

Brown Bears, Polar Bears, Black panther,Parrots, a new penguin species,chimpanzee Family, new cats,playing kittens, cute rabbit babies, a White rabbit ( nobody know it is a wild species-nut it don't cares-people buy it, because it is a cute Little rabbit...)So guess,why the new horses have this new, ugly look ?

I'm sure, Schleich will bring out a new rhino,new tigers and lions, a black panther cub, a new panda cub,more penguins,mabye also, with luck, a new Orang Utan Family,of course new and more merkats will come,maybe otter cubs-all animals, which are guranteed big sellers. So no hope for antelopes anymore-not from Schleich.

Looks nice-but my bet is, not only one of these species, with the exception of the White stork and teh Peacock, Schleich has them arleady,, will produced by Schleich within the next ten years...So don't Count on them...

So from my Point of view,when it Comes to Schleich, Wishing lists are a senselese and a waste of time.

There is one item on a wish list which may prove to be more than a waste of time - new ownership. Unless and until that occurs, Schleich willcontinue in its current moribund state.

I don't agree, Schleich has stopped producing animal species, which nobody buys-there is really no Need for. Schleich makes most Money with his horses, the Dogs and farm animals and of course the popular wild species like big cats, apes, Pandas, penguins, selas and sealion, orca,, merkats-in short-all animals common People know and love.The common People are not able to tell any diffrence between the diffrent species of antelopes-they are all the same-goats.

Schleich is now the most Commercial brand-so since last year, the new way of schleich is clear - the non big seller species are retired now, and more poluar animals have a appeared instead of them.

So of Course you can hope for more Schleich Antelopes, but don't be dissapointed, if None will come...

Otherwise, who Needs Schleich Antelopes ? We have now so many spectecular antelopes from Collecta and Mojö in excellent Quality-I don't Need more Antelopes from Schleich in their new childish new style and poor Quality.

Bongo, you live in Germany, in Germany, I live in Switzerland. Search an shop who sells Papo, CollectA, Safari LTD or Mojo Fun, and what I've found?- Nothing!My parents also don't buy me that on Gemany, because they don't like to do that. Schleich here have in every shop and Bullyland also have in many of them. Because that I wish me antelopes from Schleich.

Also in Germany ist not easy to get Collecta and Mojö Animals-I know three onlinestores you can find them, some Toystores Close to the frech border or big dedaprtment stores in our big cities sell papo-that it.

There s absolutly nothing wrong if you wish more antelopes from Schleich, I can understand it-but you are live in world money rules everything....

I like to buy online, many shops are more expensive that the toystores. But no onlineshop sells this brands, Papo and Safari I only can buy at the Zoo.

Money, rules and everythin here is not so, Schleich also is very expensive.

I agree with bongo, although we all love schleich, I think that they are more interested in making profits than making new, diverse species . We will have to rely on Mojo, CollectA, and others, and I am sure that they won't disappoint!

We see in the next years, the Thomson gazelle is one of the best sellers in all shops I think, never I hav see one, because they are so good sellers, and the childrens also like cute baby animals, becausr that I think would come more antelopes, birds (the most baby birds are ugly, but I hope Schleich make some) and also more south american animals!

And because the Gazelle fawn was a big seller, it was retired after thre years, and I'm sure,the adult Gazelle will follow it next year. The Gazelle isn't a big seller-in every toytstore the rack sare alwasy full of gazelles, Gnus,a nd Kudus,meanwhile some horses, Panda, sealions and penguins are sold out, especially shortly before Christmas and easter....I'm sure, the sold gazelles can be found in the Farmyards of the Kids-gazelles are the same as goats for most of the People today...

i may have to update what i have wrote it is not possible in 2014 we will not have any new speices we might have ones they havent made in the past years but not antelopes and for the retired figures now that we have lots gone in 2013 it suggest some to be retired in 2014RETIRED FOR 2014

all of these could or not retire but now what will they makein 2013 we have 22 wild animals (29 if we count the 7 sea life animals) and 30 farm life animals so what will we have in 2014in 2014 we all know for sure that there will be no antelopes
